Betrayed
Treachery, a jungle's primal curse A pettifogger girl, with morals dispersed She tangled with a soothsayer's artful scheme Betraying the heart of a gentleman, a mere dream Her deceit, a leopard's stealthy prowl Her actions, a treacherous scowl She played the part of an unsuspecting prey But her heart was filled with treachery, not sway Her words, a crocodile's deceitful grin A heartless hyena, her treachery spin She lured the gentleman with false serenity His heart, now shattered and filled with animosity The soothsayer, a manipulator of fate His prophecies, a mere ruse, to satiate But the pettifogger girl, fell for his ploy Like a lamb to a tiger, she was caught in his ploy In the end, treachery won the day Leaving the gentleman to mourn and stray A cautionary tale of love gone astray Betrayed by a pettifogger girl and a soothsayer's play.
